Give Us Back Our Money !
Exclusive pictures and footage from the head office of Irish Nationwide Building Society this morning, where Chief Executive, Michael Fingleton, was deciding how to spend the 1,000,000 euro bonus paid to him AFTER the hastily agreed government bank guarantee scheme was put in place last year.
Mr Fingleton is also very pleased about his pension arrangements, through which he is the sole beneficiary of a €27.6 million pension scheme.
Other workers have to take a pay cut to help out the banks, and a special "pension levy" has been announced for the public sector, even for workers who don't qualify for a pension.
When the police were caled this morning (things got a bit loud) they said the public was barred from entering the building as it is private property.
Irish Nationwide is being helped by the government's scheme to guarantee the liabilites of the bank with the public's money.
Asked when the next protest might be, the guards were told that something might be happening on Monday, March 30th.

Dont forget financial fools day April 1st ...
Miserable little son of a ..... , i wonder where some of the people are today ,the mortgage holders who defaulted on their loans never got a chance due
to fingletons severity in running to the courts seeking foreclosure on their properties . Karma Karma Karma
Fingelton is to refuse to ''credit to his account '' the monies ,which he states is quite legal .
Betcha there have been a few phone calls from people in the know to ensure this great event takes place .Tickets should be going on Sale to witness
an historical event such as a Banker returning money .If Only ..................
Some Day Soon , and with the help of The Legal Eagles it would be soooo nice to take a case to the highest court in the land in order to get a ruling to
state in law , as to why it is legal for Banksters to be given OUR Money without our consent , as far as i know when we the public apply for a ''lend ''we
are subjected to character checks credit checks and god knows what else to receive a cheque from the banks and the money boys.
If their application for a ''lend ''has appeared in my post please ignore this , maybe the postman has it for tomorrow ,i wont hold my breath ......
